Fuzzy evaluation and expert system in classical control system design

The purpose of this paper is to develop an expert system for control system design (ESCSD), with a unique set of fuzzy evaluation rules. The authors´ investigation not only uses expert systems for control system design but also proposes a practical way to use a unique set of fuzzy evaluation rules to suggest a better design method for a given plant. A set of fuzzy evaluation rules extracted from four classical design procedures is proposed. It focuses on how to predict the results of design methods. The authors deem the fuzzy evaluation rules are predicting tools of an expert system. It is also shown in this paper that the set of fuzzy evaluation rules has been successfully integrated with ESCSD. Several examples are illustrated which show the agreeable result obtained from ESCSD.
